De-Loused At The Comatorium By Mars Volta is nothing short of astonishing and demands to be heard. It is quite progressive so it may need a few listens. I don't know anything about Sparta unfortunately.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Hi,
I am looking for contemporary instrumental pop songs. The songs cannot have any lyrics and cannot be from before the late 80s. Does anyone have any ideas?

Alfred · 08-05-2008, 09:26 PM

Thanks to everyone, I'll do some blogsearches now.

She sounded like a vacuum cleaner with lung trouble. Frickin' skank. JMO.

I need some help finding some new progressive bands/artists to listen to. I've been really getting into this genre lately - bands like Porcupine Tree, Tool, Dream Theater, Opeth, 3, The Mars Volta, Coheed and Cambria, Spock's Beard, Liquid Tension Experiment, At the Drive In, Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, etc. With Nick Drake and Pink Floyd as the exception, I seem to like new prog - older bands don't do much for me. I often find them too self indulgent or bland.

Can anybody suggest some bands (new or old, but they must be good!) that I'd like? Thanks in advance.

Sieges Even
Riverside
Pure Reason Revolution

all top bands.

You should try Pain of Salvation as well!
They are one of my favorite in terms of modern prog.
Also, give Evergrey & Anathema a go. More or less similar to the bands you have mentioned.
Other than that, the ones above are top recs.

Pain Of Salvation? never heard of them. I may check them out myself.

I agree with Demonoid on this - get the Perfect Element I. Prog metal which isn't a complete chopsfest - and no egregious vocals either! In fact, I quite like Daniel Gildenlow.
